Fused silica is a common glass type used in the optics industry to manufacture optical components such as lenses, windows, mirrors, prisms, and beamsplitters. Fused silica is often a preferred material for precision optics due to its consistent and repeatable optical performance. Additionally, fused silica demonstrates a low thermal expansion coefficient that provides high thermal stability and resistance to thermal shocks, which are often critical characteristics in specific applications.
